What is the difference between child theme and non child theme

Hi, recently I have bought woodmart. I am confused about the child theme and the normal woodmart theme. Actually what is child theme. which one should i install in my site? can anyone help me out about this?

Hello,

We recommend installing a child theme as all the settings and customizations would remain the same after the theme update.

Please find here information on the child theme: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
